Earl Grey Classic

Ta-Da! The Eurostar trip was pleasently uneventful and London is sunny! Peyton And Byrne has lemon meringue cupcakes but I'm saving myself for les Paris meringuees. Off to my digs in Chelsea (I wish I was biking)

A Chelsea 'Yummy Mummy'.

Time for shopping!

First stop Fortnum and Mason.

I'm on assignment. French Girl must have her Earl Grey Classic tea but it MUST be in a bag, not a tin (she's French you know).

Of course they were out of the bags and had only tins. But this kind gentleman emptied out some tins into a bag for FG. That could never happen in France. Doodly, doodly, do. This gent told me Frenchies come in looking for Mariage Freres tea, which of course, is not allowed to cross the water...ahem

Carol, your photos of the shop windows are pure art!I love the looks of that mall & your shots of the underground & the train passengers. At least the train isn't as packed as a NYC subway!So, French girl is French? Thanks for clearing that up :)

One day dear Carol I WILL ride the Eurostar and have to pinch myself that I get to see those same to two cities I love (London and Paris) on one day (plus many more I hope)....but until then I love shuttling (sp?) between the two with you....I would take the chaise lounge too...sweet dreams Carol.

Enjoy London! I am planning a trip for May and need to know where that beautiful arcade is? I haven't been in 11 years so I am quite excited.There is a wonderful art supply place in Chelsea--Green&Stone,I believe.They have a collection of vintage and antique art supplies. Thought you might enjoy it when you are not haunting the Food Halls of Fortnum&Mason!

It's just along Piccadilly on the same side at F&M and to the right of it...Or was it to the left. You can't miss it reallyI've written about Green&Stone many times at PB - a fav shop of minemerci,Carolg
